Sad day for people of a certain vintage. Bat out of Hell was on the UK album chart for decades. RIP Meat Loaf

If you dig Wayfaring Johnny Cash’s version is pretty epic. As is Jack White’s and while we’re there Rhiannon Giddens.

I know both Cash and White versions, but they are too “country” for me, the thing I like about the Woon/Sheeran version is the vocal/overdubby vibe it has. ( and the fact that they both approach it the same way) 
Yeah I get you. It was one of the first full songs I could even come close to playing on banjo so I guess I’m a little biased. Having said that for a long while I was in a loop in VCV trying to make yet another cover of it in Rack!

Michel Banabila - The Call:
From the album “Things Popping up from the Past”
Very interesting artist and I find his music fresh, unique, inspiring and emotive. Very captivating stuff.

I’m becoming more frequently distracted by the incidental music and ambient sound when I’m watching TV dramas. Very often I notice that it’s less musical than it use to be. Once you notice it, you can’t not hear it, especially for interior scenes where nothing you hear is from Nature. I find myself wondering how they did it.
Most recently I noticed it during some episodes of Mindhunter on Netflix.
In other news…
Also been enjoying this cover of “High Wall”, by Sleazy Mancini.
I love that they look like they could be Quentin Tarantino’s house band. And all look more or less wasted.
Compare it to the 1959 original by the Fabulous Wailers (not Bob Marley’s Wailers):
It has it’s own sort of degenerate charm. 
Drummer sounds like he’s disciplining someone.

Nice pop tune, I approve 
I like Warpaint regardless but I find myself having these kind of tunes on repeat recently. Maybe it’s a pop year ¯_(ツ)_/¯
The typography on the Banabila cover looks a lot like a release from the - now seemingly defunct - netlabel testtube that I liked digging around in. It would fit perfectly.

appeared on my stream, and was actually very topical for the current times. Catchy and not bad at all
One of the very best prog. albums ever made: U.K. - U.K.

Oh, and it has Alan Holdsworth… and Bill Brufford, and…

This guy Wolf Parkinson White is big into algorithmic composition. I don’t know what software he does to generate these pieces, but I’m really digging the inventiveness of spirit he’s put into this music.
Yeah, he’s busy posting old goodies, it’s great!
